Since Félicien Du Bois is done for the tournament due to a hand injury and Dean Kukan (upper-body) is still questionable until further notice, Switzerland's head coach has called the 24-year-old back from his holidays in Dubai: "He will be there as a preventive measure and won't play unless there are more injury-caused absences in our defense," Glen Hanlon told Le Matin.
